Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) walked out of the memorial service for Nelson Mandela when Cuban president Raúl Castro began speaking.
Senator Cruz very much hopes that Castro learns the lessons of Nelson Mandela, said Sean Rushton, Cruzs communications director. For decades, Castro has wrongly imprisoned and tortured countless innocents. Just as Mandela was released after 27 years in prison, Castro should finally release his political prisoners; he should hold free elections, and once and for all set the Cuban people free.
Earlier in the day, President Obama shook hands with Castro.
A conservative can’t win with the MSM.
They would trash him if he had the GS insurance, if he had Obamacare, or if he had none at all.
Isn’t it about time for another “Cruz isn’t eligible” thread? Hasn’t been one of them for a while. /sarc
I suspect you are RIGHT!
I also suspect half are not constitutional conservatives, for which Cruz is a warrior, but they are something else, someone posted just the other day, if Christ was running for president he wouldn’t be good enough for many freepers.
Perhaps Ted’s only motivation for attending was to be able to walk out on Castro’s speech.
After being released, Cuba was one of the first countries visited Nelson Mandela . Former South African President then began a long friendship with Fidel Castro, whom the July 1991 thanked Cuban troops to the battle of Cuito Cuanavale.
During his imprisonment, Mandela became an admirer of the writings of Mao and Che Guevara, whom he also dedicated praise when it was released: “his revolutionary achievements were of such magnitude that no charge of censorship in the prison could hide them ourselves.” Che’s life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom. “ We will always honor your memory”, said.
>> Ches life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom.
The freedom to kill... the Leftist’s sense of choice, sense of self worth.
